Did You Know that Botox can be used to reduce hair fall and balding or androgenetic alopecia?
BTXA or Botox treatment can be effective in androgenetic alopecia or balding. Data showed increased hair density by 13%–20% within 12–24 weeks and improved follicle diameter by 3 months.
It works by reducing DHT-induced cell death and it and reduced scalp oiliness while increasing scalp hair growth with no significant adverse effects.
It can also help reduce excess sweat in your scalp, allowing you to delay your hair wash and preventing hair clumping and further breakage.
Another hidden cause of hair fall is excess tension in the scalp. Botox helps by relaxing the superficial scalp muscles, which may support healthier hair growth over time. This may also be why accupuncture helps in hair growth as well.
While Botox can be injected into the scalp, it can also be delivered through microneedling for a more comfortable experience.
@isyaderm , we often use microneedling to gently deliver Botox into the scalp, making the treatment easier and more tolerable for patients.
